Resolution

WHEREAS the 2021 drought severely impacted crop yields across the province;

WHEREAS the current Saskatchewan Crop Insurance yield cushioning policy requires
two consecutive years of below 70% average yield before cushioning limits the yield
shortfall to 70% in the second year;

WHEREAS reduced yields in disaster years impact coverage levels for future years and
are not reflective of individual yield history based on management and experience;

BE IT RESOLVED that Saskatchewan Crop Insurance change its yield cushioning policy
to cap yearly yields at 70% long term average, beginning in the 2021 program year.
